Stitch (Dog)
Bill Kaulitz suffered the loss of his dog, Stitch, in a sudden turn of events in February 2023. This tragedy came just a week after Bill’s twin brother, Tom Kaulitz, and Heidi Klum also lost their two dogs, Capper and Anton. While the trio suspects poisoning may be involved, they have refrained from making further announcements until the autopsy results clarify the unforeseen cause.

Bill Kaulitz is best known as the lead vocalist of the German band Tokio Hotel, gaining international recognition with hits like “Durch den Monsun” and “Schrei.”
Kaulitz made his initial splash in the music world with Tokio Hotel’s 2005 debut album, “Schrei.” The album sold more than half a million copies worldwide and produced four top-five singles in both Germany and Austria. The band continued to rise in prominence, diversifying its musical style from pop-rock and alternative rock to electropop and synth-pop in later years.

Kaulitz’s work extends beyond Tokio Hotel through collaborations with a range of artists and celebrities. Inside the band, he has a strong working relationship with Tom Kaulitz (guitar), Georg Listing (bass), and Gustav Schäfer (drums). He has also been involved in projects with producers like David Jost and Patrick Benzner.
